Absolutely, and I’m glad that there is still so much robust commentary on his work. However, opinions about whether he should or shouldn’t have included curse words in his work are irrelevant.

Unsolicited…? You have a comment section. Your father did some very good work. The more people who are exposed to it the better.

Thanks for your unsolicited opinion, Sam.

It would open the information to a wider audience.

Wish we had his inimitable take on the mass psychosis so often renamed it’s hard to settle on one: CON-vid will do. And that Dark City, “Shut it down!” sci-fi moment become reality with all its attendant tyrannical horrors. How naive we were. The FM/Frankist/Kommie Capstone Event wasn’t 9/11. It was the entree. God help us.

Many thanks and God bless you for keeping your father’s site going, Alyssa!

Write your own article, pal.

Well at the risk of getting my own head blown off by all the censorious swearers who have reacted to Mr Griffith I think his point about coarse language in print is has some validity. English has a long tradition of excluding such words from serious publications and it dates back at least to Shakespeare’s day, not the ‘Hollywood code’ which was as I understand it a Catholic-led effort to reign in the proto-pornography of much 1920s film.

I have found Mr Macgowan’s works most illuminating and entertaining and his infrequent vulgarities to be almost always well-timed and appropriate to his very intimate, conversational yet polemical style. However there is a price to pay for such allowances, namely that in my not so very long lifetime we have gone from seldom if ever hearing or using these words to being literally, like Mrs Lackey, unable to eacape them.

Fcuk off !

Thanks! I’ve made this correction but noted it in brackets to make it clear that I’ve altered dad’s original words.

Thank you, Alissa, for preserving your fathers work. He has helped show us that history is not just written by the winners, but that the “winners” are not above conspiring in their own self interest and fabricating a self-serving narrative. And it’s silly for someone to be upset about the cursing, but not about the fact that they have been lied to all their lives.
